Non-Surgical Skin Tightening With Ultherapy In Vancouver
Ultherapy® delivers focused ultrasound energy to the same foundational layer addressed by surgeons during a facelift, without cutting or disrupting the skin's surface. This energy triggers your body's natural collagen production, gradually lifting and tightening skin on the face, jawline, neck, and chest over 2–3 months.
VANCOUVER ULTHERAPY: REVOLUTIONARY SKIN TIGHTENING
In our Vancouver office, Ultherapy® is one of the most powerful non-surgical skin tightening treatments. Ultherapy® is the next evolution in aesthetic medical science. It delivers focused ultrasound energy to the same foundational layer typically addressed by surgeons during cosmetic surgery – without cutting or disrupting the skin's surface.
This energy initiates the body’s natural response to stimulate the growth of fresh, new collagen. Some patients see an initial effect right after their treatment, but the real results appear over 2–3 months as new collagen builds, gradually lifting and tightening skin on the face and neck and smoothing skin on the chest.
At Sparrow MD, every Ultherapy treatment is performed directly by or under the guidance our physicians: Dr. Zhai and Dr. Van Dewark. They who are trained in diagnostic ultrasound imaging and use this technology daily and use clinical practice. This means your treatment is guided by real-time visualization of your unique anatomy, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Ultherapy is FDA-cleared and Health Canada-approved, with over 6 million treatments performed worldwide. It remains the only non-invasive device with rigorous clinical evidence demonstrating skin tightening without surgery.

Ultherapy Before & After Results
Ultherapy Cost In Vancouver
Ultherapy pricing at Sparrow MD starts from $800 and varies depending on the treatment area energy delivered. During your consultation, Dr. Zhai or Dr. Van Dewark will assess your skin laxity and recommend a customized treatment plan tailored to your goals. Factors that affect Ultherapy cost include:
• Treatment area - smaller areas like the brow require fewer ultrasound lines than a full face and neck treatment
• Severity of skin laxity - more advanced laxity may benefit from additional lines for optimal results
• Combination treatments - some patients achieve enhanced outcomes by pairing Ultherapy with dermal fillers or microneedling or other modalities.

Ultherapy Treatment: Top Frequently Asked Questions
Ultherapy For Jawline, Lower Face and Neck Tightening
The jawline, lower face and neck are among the most common areas where patients first notice signs of skin laxity, sagging along the jowls, loss of jawline definition, and deepening of marionette lines. Ultherapy is particularly effective in these areas because it targets the SMAS layer, the same deep tissue layer tightened during a surgical facelift.
At Sparrow MD, our doctors use the Ulthera device's real-time ultrasound visualization to precisely target the jawline, ensuring energy is delivered at the optimal depth for your anatomy.
Unlike other skin tightening devices all therapy allows for direct visualization of your anatomy without guessing. This way energy which is tightening the tissues is delivered in the correct location maximizing its effectiveness.
Common jawline and lower face concerns treated with Ultherapy:
• Jowl sagging and loss of jawline definition
• Marionette lines and nasolabial folds
• Double chin reduction and neck tightening
• Overall lower face slimming and contouring
Most patients see progressive jawline improvement over 2–3 months as new collagen tightens the treated tissue. Results typically last 1–2 years depending on individual aging and skin quality.
